[QUOTE="HurricaneWhisperer, post: 1258882, member: 88657"] Yes, the Vanguard is heavier than other economical rifles in it's price range. Since you are trying to reduce recoil, that is a good thing. A 7mm-08 will kick less than a .270 and both rifles weigh the same if they are both Weatherby Vanguards. If you really want to reduce recoil, get a .243 Winchester Weatherby Vanguard. Same weight, much lighter kicking load. Cheapest thing would be to try out some Hornady Custom Lite Ammo in your .270 and see if that reduces recoil enough. [/QUOTE]
